Following investment in 2019, the business was able to scale up at a significant pace both locally and internationally. As part of this, operations have been launched across China, UK, EU and the US over the last two years, along with continued strengthening of wholesale and distributor relationships to service offline channels. They are continuing to expand their presence globally and have the vision of becoming the #1 global baby and toddler sleep brand, providing better sleep, bigger dreams and a brighter world.
